Simple Beauty Emerges From Complex Ideas
Discover music inspired by our modern age— works that seek meaning in a complicated world.
“While listening to an interview discussing Steve Jobs' legacy, I was struck by the description of his vision: Jobs didn't so much create new technologies as take complex technologies and make them simple.”
And Complexity From Simple Beginnings
Encounter soundscapes that grow organically. Simple concepts unfold effortlessly to reveal surprising intricacy.
“The end result is thus a combination of concrete planning followed by fortuitous accident. Serendipity!”
Celebrating the Culture That Shapes Us
Come face to face (ear to ear?) with familiar cultural touchstones. 8-bit Nintendo games. Saturday morning cartoons. Reminiscences of a childhood in 1980s San Diego.
Whimsical? At times… but infused with an emotional resonance and depth of meaning that belie the playful spirit.
“Now with a child of my own…
Knowing is definitely half the battle, if not more,
And while there may be more than meets the eye,
You may not want to know.”
While Confronting an Uncertain World
“This is music inspired by the excitement, stress, and fear brought forth from unanticipated change… seemingly consistent patterns make decidedly unexpected transformations.”

Bringing Us Face to Face With Our Anxieties and Fears
“Do I hide the fact that this music is personal? Nah… that isn’t any fun. I am a fractured, imperfect soul. It’s time for me to drop the façade and show my true self, warts and all.
Or maybe I’ll just show a small bit, and let everyone figure out the rest… or maybe just a sliver… or… I can’t decide.
Perhaps I am overthinking this.”
And Taking Us On a Journey Within Ourselves
“My work is inspired by this innate ability of music to speak on a completely abstract level. The resulting music takes on an otherworldly quality, at once recognizable as a dialogue, and yet completely distant and incomprehensible, as if taking place in a dream.”
